Czech postcard by Pressfoto, Praha (Prague). Photo: Jack Lemmon and Joe E. Brown in Some Like it Hot (Billy Wilder, 1959). Collection: Carla Bosch.
Carla: Joe E. Brown is a millionaire and in love with Jack Lemmon's character. Jack cannot tell either he is a man, so he goes through with it, but eventually has to confess to Joe he is a man when Joe asks to marry him. Joe is in love and won’t be deterred: “Well, nobody’s perfect”.
The topics of homosexuality and men wearing drag costumes and make-up were taboo in those days. But times have changed. It is considered to be one of the best films and comedies of all times.
